.~Found out recently...that outside the U.S, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is also being observed. The Japanese city of Hiroshima holds a special banquet at the mayor's office as an act of unifying his city's call for peace with King's message of human rights.The City of Toronto, Canada observes the Day as well. And Israel has a national forest in honor of Dr. King. Let's just hope the world would embrace & fulfill the same message of 'Dreams'...

Brief History on Donut or Doughnut : It has a disputed history, but certainly an interesting one! Supposedly came to Manhattan N.Y (then, the New Amsterdam) under the Dutch name of "olykoeks" or "oily cakes". In early colonial times, US. Dutch immigrants discovered fried cake. So, the 'story' goes, a cow kicked a pot full of boiling oil over some cake mix, thus inventing the golden brown delight. Around 1847, Elizabeth Gregory, a New England ship captain's mother, made a deep-fried dough that used her son's spice cargo of nutmeg, cinnamon, and lemon rind. She made the deep fried cakes for her son and his crew so they could store the pastry on long voyages...and to help ward off scurvy and colds. Mrs. Gregory put hazel nuts or walnuts in the center, where the dough might not cook through, and called them doughnuts.~[source]
